I was a Toy Race Car Driver

I found myself representing my high school, ICA (International Christian Academy) at this inter-school competition. There were different areas that we could compete from, and I remember Johanna, Charmaine, and the rest of her ballet crew competing in the dance competition. I, however was assigned to compete at this Toy Car Race. I had my yellow toy car, which was about the same size as those Ferrari cars they'd give away in Shell Gas Stations (once you've reached a certain quota or something).

The first level of the competition was that I was to avoid getting hit by any of the other cars, so I moved my car as carefully as I could. I found myself at the final round, which was this time, our cars had to bump each other, in order to win. We had to bump the other cars in order to get rid of them, but at the same time avoid getting bumped. I found my first opponent, so I moved the car in reverse, or more like tweaked it back, in order for it to be able to move forward with much force. However, my opponent did the same thing, so I found our toy cars going straight towards each other. And *boom*, so I asked the judges, "was that a draw? Or are we both out?", but then they checked which car had a bigger damage, and found that my opponent's car was more damaged than mine. So I remained, and realized that I was really good at this. My next opponent however owned this 10-wheeler toy truck, that somehow "ate" the cars whenever any car would hit it. I knew it was a long shot, but I had to do it. So I started backing my car up again (started tweaking it back), and so the truck started doing the same thing.

So my yellow car, and this 10-wheeler truck clashed into each other, and as expected, the back of the truck opened up, and began to crush my car.

However, my yellow car did something that I never knew it could do...It transformed into a yellow saber tooth tiger, like one of those creatures in Beast Wars (or one of the robots from Power Rangers, but it acted more like those creatures in Beast Wars). So it held on to the back of the truck, and threw the truck into a wall. It was awesome. I could hear the people getting all excited how my car was able to do that. So I won, I think, and I picked up my yellow car, which was still a saber tooth tiger, and told it to take it easy, because there were some parts that got out, so I had to fix it first.

All of a sudden, my ballet friends came up to me crying, saying that they've been disqualified, and next thing I knew, this person approaches me to say that all ICA participants have been disqualified, because we cheated. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't see how I could have cheated, my car did all the work, I didn't even touch it while it was hitting the other cars, so I asked that they replay any of the videos to prove that I did not cheat all.

Then I found out that this was all a plot done by all the different schools, because they just wanted ICA to be disqualified. I couldn't take it, I found myself getting annoyed, and expressing how unfair everything was. It didn't make sense, it just didn't.

And true enough, it didn't make sense, because I found myself waking up from my dream.
